The Great House is currently occupied by the Thorloft family head. Currently (as of 17-5-1259 TGR) she has several problems. Gelda Runeslayer is dealing with an Orc tribe to the East, a clan of Giants to the Northeast and at the same time wants to expand her territory to the Southwest into land that is currently occupied by Wingstone?.

The current plan to deal with these problems is to allow Orc, Goblin or other Humanoids to pass through Sargil on their way into Wingstone? as long as those raiders do not attack any of the villages or hamlets in Sargil along the way. She reasons that this will help weaken the Earl's hold there and she could move her own forces in to provide security. If any of those raiding groups do attack her people she is prepared to launch counter attacks and raid into the hills and mountains for swift revenge.
